A gradually growing industrial hub, Faridabad is the biggest city in Haryana. Due to its close proximity to Delhi and Gurgaon, industrialists and entrepreneurs find it to be the perfect place to set up workshops and factories. With the growing industrialization, comes a plethora of diseases like air pollution along with chronic diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension and heart diseases.Therefore, it is important to get regular health check ups done to screen yourself for these diseases. A health checkup may require you to undergo various laboratory tests which are performed by collecting samples from your body. These samples can be blood, urine, stool or body tissues.
